This has been a rough week. My grandparents have Covid. My great grandma has Covid. And my “adopted” grandparents have been in the hospital with Covid, and he died. I cried so many tears this week.

After getting a good talking to the other day from a customer it made me start thinking about if I am where I need to be or if I should be doing what I do. Although I have some control over the area I cover, in the end I do not have control in general. I do the best I can with the knowledge I have and the tools at my disposal.

My husband Chris and I have discussed getting a puppy for a while now to help with my manic depression. Sometimes I can feel when an episode is coming on and other times it hits like a freight train completely unexpected. We’ve asked around and did some research and one of the best ways to help someone (other than medication) with depression is getting an animal. The decision was made, now we just had to wait for the opportunity to get a dog.
